Quick 0.11.4 Update

A question that has haunted my dreams since the "size reduction" announcement is:

File size reduction=Graphic quality reduction?

You plan only descent races? What a shame...

As I wrote here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/496805/page/7#p4457114 I'm waiting for descent league, because, descent is marvelous idea, but races are not interesting for many, many players.

So I guess it will have the 3D art of an Imperial?

Sweet. I've been away from my computer all weekend and was worried I'd missed my chance to get to the end at least once! I tried one of the 90 min turbos and got destroyed.

I believe it has more to do with better file compression than just reducing quality. If you want to have an idea, compare a Bitmap iamge to a PNG one. The difference in quality is not very much noticeable, but the filesize is much smaller.

Yes will the update clean up the file space as well or must we do a full install to get the reduction in size of the game client!

Thanks to/for the Great Game Guys!

it will replace the old files, no?
